Big Hair Casts Craven Eye Toward White House...

From the excellent Texas blog, Burnt Orange, comes this tasty little morsel which suggests that Texas Governor Rick Perry, he of the big hair and theocratic bent, may have set as his goal the 2012 Republican nomination for president:

At this point, all indications are that a foundation has been laid and Rick Perry, along with his consultants and pollsters, are moving forward with that nomination bid.

Rick Perry's consultants and pollsters registered rickperry2012.com as early as April of 2007.

Yuck.

That would be awesome. Rick Perry is about as intelligent as a tree stump. He's got no idea just how bad he's about to get smacked down come this November.

Thanks for the link. Burnt Orange is just the best.

folks have got it together.

I've heard Perry is about as dumb as he is ambitious, and that ain't good!

:hi:

That dumb-fuck piece of shit we call gov has had too many shady deals. He was pushing the Trans-Texas Corridor failure too hard not to have been bribed. The scrutiny of vetting would likely rule him out.

Failen Palin had a questionable background yet McLoser picked her anyway.

However; we are stuck in an endless loop with Failen Palin who won't get off of the stage.

been on their governor's case for a while now.

I imagine they have a very impressive file.

There are possible shady deals and who knows, maybe even a personal revelation or two that might make his fundie nutbag fans a bit edgy.

Just sayin'.

30 those dipcraps thing that it also applies to president. After all wasn't Bush appointed president by the almost as intelligent republican activist on that court.

win a primary.

whupped his hindend by double-digits this November.

That would pour some cold water on the Baggers' fire, wouldn't it?

He is a weak incumbent governor but it is Texas. Time will tell.

but it would be a fine evening to see White win in Texas over Perry this November.

It would lift a lot of boats and would put a really bad candidate (Perry) out of the presidential sweepstakes in one fell swoop.

I work in a pretty republican industry and the few people I've talked to none of them like Perry.

I don't like him much myself!

:hi:

bad things are for the GOP these days.

I'm trying to see a path for their potential nominees, and I guess Perry's is at least possible, but a lot of really bad Republicans all want the same nomination.

This could get fun.

:hi:

he talked about seceding from? Oh that makes a whole lot of sense.

Rick(Secession)Perry/2012 for President of which states?

As the South is slowly losing its stranglehold on US politics (thanks to demographics) I think we may be moving past the Carter/Clinton/W mold.

soul following his presidency and also prior to winning nomination I cheer his eliminating George Wallace.

I did support Ted Kennedy in the primary in 1980 but there was a lot of change in the way people perceived things as a result of Carter's eliminating Wallace in the Democratic primaries in 1976.

Mo Udall was the last liberal standing to Carter's left and I guess up to the Wisconsin primary in 76 he was a few percentage points from winning, which would not have knocked Carter out but would have mobilized the more liberal demographic. At the very least it would have slowed Carter down.

If the South can lose its stranglehold on U.S. politcs (I love your language there...), it would be GREAT with me.
